Global Debit Card Market

The contactless payment terminals market consists of the sales of contactless payment products and services by entities (organizations, partnerships, and sole proprietors) that facilitates a secure payment method utilizing a debit or credit card, smartcard, or another payment machine by using RFID technology and near-field communication. Contactless payment terminals are devices that facilitate electronic fund transfer in a contactless manner. To use the system, a customer taps his or her payment card near a terminal that is equipped with the technology. The main device types for contactless payment terminals include smartphones and wearables, smart cards and point-of-sale (POS) terminals. Smartphones and wearables enable a contactless card to communicate to a reader into a tiny piece of secure digital payment system that can be invisibly integrated into a range of wearable technology. The different contactless payment terminals solution outlook includes payment terminal solution, transaction management, security and fraud management, hosted point-of-sales and analytics. The different contactless payment terminals payment modes include account-based, credit/debit card, stored value, smart card and other payment modes for applications including food and groceries, pharmacy and drug stores, restaurants and bars, consumer electronics, media and entertainment, and other applications.

ERP is a software that organizations use to manage day-to-day business operations such as procurement, accounting, project management, risk management & compliance, and supply chain activities. The main function types of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software are finance, HR, Supply Chain and Others. The ERP finance module is the software component of an enterprise resource planning system that handles the primary accounting and financial management functions. The software is deployed as on premise ERP and cloud ERP that are used by manufacturing and services, BFSI, healthcare, retail, government utilities, aerospace and defense, telecom, and other industry verticals. The enterprise resource planning (ERP) market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides enterprise resource planning (ERP) market statistics, including enterprise resource planning (ERP) industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an enterprise resource planning (ERP) market share, detailed enterprise resource planning (ERP) market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the enterprise resource planning (ERP) industry. This enterprise resource planning (ERP) market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global erp software market size will grow from $167.33 billion in 2022 to $187.88 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global erp software market size is expected to grow to $294.34 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 11.9%. Increased need for bringing efficiency and transparency in the business operations is expected to benefit the enterprise resource planning software market in the forecast period as ERP enables the integration of high volume of data among several departments and manages the flow of information and communication throughout the organization. In addition, the use of cloud based technologies for storing and accessing real time data, analytical reporting for business decisions and the need to meet the industry standards processes which are already implanted in the software are also enhancing the growth of the market. For example, Annabelle Candy implemented the Syspro ERP, an ERP software provided by Syspro for manufacturing and distribution industries enabled them to expand their marketing practices to more locations and track their progress with ease. Increasing number of cyber-attacks are expected to limit the growth of companies in the enterprise resource planning software market during the forecast period. These attacks on ERP applications including compromise and distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks damage the operations of businesses. According to Onapsis, which is an ERP cyber security and compliance firm, ERP applications such as SAP and Oracle have a combined total of over 9000 security vulnerabilities. One of the latest trends in the ERP software market is the integration of block chain technology with ERP. Block chain is a chronological series of data managed by multiple computers owned by multiple entities, and each block of data is secured by a cryptographic code. ERP vendors need to keep their software updated in order to maximize the value addition provided to their clients. Integration of ERP with block chain will create a secured platform for collaboration, through which systems of records can be freely shared to trusted parties. For example, SAP, a software company, is exploring ways in which it can implement block chain efficiently to its existing ERP. It is trying to integrate block chain to ERP to improve 3D printing and digital manufacturing. The strict guidelines taken by the UK and French governments on Internet of Things (IoT) device manufacturers break the split of regulations for ERP software. The adoption of advanced technologies such as IoT and machine learning in almost all the applications including ERP resulted in a lot of fraud practices and the need to prevent such practices through stringent regulations. Some examples of regulations are the stringent guidelines implemented by the French government and the UK government which have to be followed by IoT device manufacturers. These strict regulations hinder the growth of the market and prevent other companies to enter the ERP market. For instance, leading ERP software vendors such as SAP and Oracle have been looking at ways to integrate the latest technologies including IoT and machine learning, but the strict policies constraining the development of their products are restricting the growth of the market. Major players in the enterprise resource planning (ERP) software market are SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Epicor, Infor, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, IFS, Syspro, Brightpearl, FinancialForce, Dolibarr, Awery Aviation, WP, Kechie, Stafiz, BatchMaster, Intuit Inc., FIS Global, Finserv, Cerner Corporation, SS&C Technology, Constellation Software Inc., Odoo, Lawson, Consona Corp., Activant, QAD, Kronos and IBM.
